Entry requirements for undergraduate courses

We look at a full range of experience and qualifications when working out if you are eligible to apply. Find out more about what we consider when we look at your application. If you are over 21 and/or have significant work experience, our mature applicants page has useful information.

Most undergraduate courses ask for a certain number of UCAS tariff points. These points are worked out according to grades achieved at particular qualifications; A-levels and BTECs are worth a certain number of points. Find out more in the UCAS tariff explained, or visit the UCAS website for further information.

 

If you still can't find the answers you are looking for, contact the the Gateway.

We have listed general international entry requirements, but you can also contact the Gateway or  International Office to see if your international qualifications mean you can apply for one of our courses.
